called the Lange video the truth. That's a lying keyboard, not lying eyes.

Believe Nina Turner, a Hillary delegate, and a candidate for Congress, all of whom were there and two of whom posted videos. Or keep catapulting the falsehoods. No one cares. The Hillary supporters will believe Lange or pretend to and the Bernie supporters will believe the people I've mentioned in this post other than Lange.

of people who endorsed Sanders though; and given the videos I saw describing Lange's behavior, it's almost as likely that Bill is Bernie's super delegate. I think she's pulling the crap similar to what about a dozen Duers pulled.

In January, she was uncommitted: See this pdf put out by the DNC - https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6070545/Unpledged_as_of_1.21.16.0.pdf 

In February, she was still uncommitted: http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/269348-clinton-has-superdelegate-edge-in-nevada-south-carolina 

Roberta Lange, state party chair (Neutral): Lange has decided to stay neutral, as many party leaders have ahead of contests in their state. A former county Democratic chair, she served as former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson’s state director during his failed bid for the presidency in 2008.



By April, she was still uncommitted: 

April: https://www.laprogressive.com/who-are-the-superdelegates/ 

477 Harry Reid NV Sen. Clinton 
478 Dina Titus NV Rep. Clinton 
479 Artie Blanco NV DNC None 
480 Roberta Lange NV DNC None 
481 Chris Wicker NV DNC None 
482 Erin Bilbray NV DNC Sanders 


But SUDDENLY in May she became a Sanders supporter??

Ludicrous lies of the people DEFENDING fascistic behavior notwithstanding.

The inability to admit you've lost an election is a sure sign of a fascist. In democracies, we accept that we sometimes lose.

As far as staying in a primary, no that's not fascistic. Or if it is fascistic, then Hillary's been fascistic. or maybe she "evolved" from that, too?

I can't keep up.

It's fun watching you lose, and you need to lose, because the movement is an affront to democracy and, of late, simple decency.

As I said, the inability to accept election results is a clear mark of fascism, and there's only one camp troubled by that particular disease.
